The Quantum Energy Processes Lab studies energy-related materials that make use of the interaction between light and matter. The lab designs new materials and processes that can efficiently extract the energy of light shining on organic molecules or inorganic semiconductors as useful work, such as light emission or electricity generation. It conducts basic research on building nanoscale structures from organic and inorganic materials and bringing out functions such as light harvesting, polarization of light, photoelectric conversion, charge transport and storage, and light emission.

The Thermal Energy Conversion Lab does research together with the Energy Conversion Systems group as the Combustion and Power Engineering Lab. Heat engines are widely used in automobiles, ships, construction machinery, power generation, aircraft, and spacecraft. Toward a carbon-neutral society, the lab studies higher efficiency and zero emissions for heat engines and power systems, and the use of new fuels such as hydrogen and synthetic fuels. It also works on understanding and controlling the physical and chemical processes of heat and flow that underlie this research.

The Conversion Systems Lab jointly runs the Combustion and Power Engineering Lab with the Thermal Energy Conversion field (Hayashi Lab). Applications for the graduate school entrance exam (choice of desired division) are made separately from the Hayashi Lab. Across the whole lab, research covers higher efficiency and zero emissions for heat engines and power systems, and the use of new fuels such as hydrogen and synthetic fuels. Prof. Kawanabe's group investigates fundamental combustion phenomena such as ignition and flame stabilization, using optical measurements and a rapid compression expansion machine.

The Energy Materials Design Lab studies the strength and failure mechanisms of nano- and micro-sized materials and structures. When materials shrink to nano- to micro-scale dimensions, they show properties different from those of large materials. The lab conducts experiments that apply loads to materials inside various microscopes, and investigates them together with mechanical and theoretical analysis. It also works on the relationship between the ferroelectricity or magnetism of nanomaterials and their deformation, and on the design of mechanical metamaterials.

The Functional Systems Design Lab uses theory and numerical analysis to uncover the properties and behavior of structural, electromagnetic, and functional materials involved in energy conversion. It describes material behavior in a unified way with nonlinear continuum mechanics, aiming to design more functional and intelligent material systems. It also focuses on developing nondestructive evaluation techniques that use ultrasound and electromagnetic fields to examine material degradation, damage, and defects without destroying the material.

The Process Thermochemistry Lab studies metal production processes with low environmental impact, as well as semiconductor materials for solar cells, thermoelectric power generation, and power semiconductors. The lab's strengths are techniques for measuring the activity of components and in situ observation at high temperatures. Using these techniques, the lab clarifies how reactions work at high temperatures and aims to develop more efficient processes and higher-performance materials.

The Quantum Beam Science Lab uses quantum beams to accurately understand the properties of nanoscale matter, which are determined by the behavior of atoms and molecules. The lab creates cutting-edge nanotechnology based on quantum beams, aiming to extend it to life science, materials science, and space science. The lab has four accelerators that generate quantum beams such as ions, electrons, and photons, as well as various laser systems.

The Quantum Physics Lab investigates how neural networks understand phenomena in the natural sciences, and explores ways to apply that understanding to natural science research. Its methods are rooted in theoretical physics, and the lab conducts research through theory and numerical experiments. Apart from computers, it uses no experimental equipment. The research targets are mainly physical systems in quantum physics, but the lab extends them to natural science in general, including mathematical physics models and the base sequences of biological DNA and RNA.

The Neutron Engineering Lab works to understand the interaction between neutrons and matter, and to develop quantum technologies that open up new materials science, along with their wide-ranging applications. The lab develops materials that do not lose strength when hit by neutrons, aiming to expand their use from nuclear power and fusion to aviation and space. Taking advantage of the property of neutrons to penetrate deep inside matter, the lab also studies how to make good use of neutron sources and advanced imaging methods.
